Four Wonderful Years

I can't believe my tenure with Relay For Life at Virginia Tech is complete and what a wonderful four years it was.

When I joined VTRelay in Fall 2007 there were probably only 30-40 people on the planning committee, there are now on average 100-110 people on the different committees and Exec.  The 2007/2008 event took place on the Johnson-Miller Track and Field, however that was the last year it was held there because in 2008/2009 the event was moved to the Drillfield. The event has grown from about 2500 participants to almost 6000!! And of course the growth over four years isn't limited just to participants...we've raised over $1.5 million dollars!!

I can't believe I had the opportunity to help plan the largest collegiate Relay For Life event in world for the last 4 years! Seeing the growth this event has achieved in four years is unbelievable and every year I am even more impressed than the year before. I cannot wait to see where this event goes in the future, when I visit as an alum of the greatest university, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University.

Thank you Relay For Life at Virginia Tech for a fantastic four years.

I hope you enjoy the pictures, they really are fantastic and I hope there are more to come.
